Chapter 100. Emergence Of Doom
It was early in the morning, around 8:30 a.m., when Laura arrived at Mrs. Spencer’s apartment.
She had come to urgently discuss what she discovered during her visit to Maria and what Beta Gilbert was secretly plotting against her friend.
The moment Laura stepped into the living room, she met Hadizah, the witch, already prepared to leave.
Mrs. Spencer was standing beside her, and both of them were just about to walk out of the house when Laura suddenly appeared.
They were both surprised to see Laura so early, especially since she hadn’t informed Mrs. Spencer about her coming.
"Laura, what are you doing here this early? Is everything alright with you?" Mrs. Spencer asked, concern written all over her face.
"I’m fine, but I don’t think Maria will be okay if we don’t act quickly to help her," Laura said, her face tight with worry.
"Calm down, Laura. Come, sit here and talk to us," Hadizah said gently. The three of them returned to the living room and took their seats, waiting for Laura to explain further.
Once seated, both women watched Laura curiously, eager to hear what had brought her here in such urgency.
"I was at the Gilbert mansion yesterday, with Cassandra. I managed to listen to Beta Gilbert’s thoughts, and he’s planning to dig into Maria’s life and mine. He feels threatened by me, and now he’s bent on investigating me. I’m not bothered about him coming after me, but I’m really worried about Maria," Laura confessed, the tension in her voice clearly showing.
Mrs. Spencer sat forward, her brows drawn together. "Okay, I hear you, Laura. But what exactly does he want to know about Maria?"
